James 5:7-l 1
Be Patient in Your Trials.
I. WAIT and watch.
“patience”
G. Campbell Morgan -“To me the second coming is the perpetual light on the path which makes the present variable. I never lay my head on my pillow without thinking, maybe before the morning breaks, the final morning may have dawned. I never begin my work without thinking that perhaps He may interrupt my work and begin His own.”
STAND and watch. v . 8; II Peter 3:3-9
II. Be Patient With Your Tongue. v. 9ff; Phil. 2:14, 15; Romans 14:10.
Be Patient Because of Past Triumphs. v .10, 11
